I’ve almost stopped using Amazon due to this insistence on playing video ads on their retail site—it is extremely grating. I almost feel like jumping ship to Jet/Walmart.

Wait, is this a thing? I've never seen Amazon auto-playing video.

Same here. Going to assume it's uBlock Origin doing its thing.

I have uBO and now they play with audio off. But initially they had full blown audio despite uBO.
